AIE grants invest in partnerships between schools, community and arts organizations, and teaching artists. These partnerships ensure that arts instruction is an essential part of basic education for pre-school and K-12 students.
Our grants support professional development for arts educators. They also help to build the capacity of arts education initiatives. Together we serve students, families, and communities.
